Space-Time, Gravity, and Mass

Space-Time, Gravity, and Mass

- Space-time is the unity of space and time.

- the bigger the mass the more the gravitational pull

- gravity warps space

- straight lines are no longer straight

-

Newton's Laws

Newton's Laws

- Law of Motion: objects in motion tend to stay in motion

- Law of Gravity: Objects with mass can produce a gravitational pull or force on other objects with mass

- Light (photons) does not have mass

The General Theory of Relativity

The General Theory of Relativity

- The General Theory of Relativity states that any massive object creates gravity by bending the space time around it

-Sir Arthur Eddington first proved Einstein's prediction to be correct

- Eddington did this using the eclipse of May 29th, 1919 and starlight

Sir Arthur Eddington's Eclipse

What he did

What he did

- Measured the position of the stars prior to the eclipse
